The historic organs of Beechworth
Beechworth is located in the north-east of Victoria, Australia, famous for its major growth during the gold rush days of the mid-1850s. Beechworth has a population of around 3,859. This number may seem small but the town is within close proximity to many other localities such as Yakandandah, Wangaratta and of course, Albury-Wodonga. It is only about ~53km from my house in Albury so it's a nice spot for a drive on the weekend. There's plenty to do, see and eat in Beechworth! I brought a couple of the kids along for the ride and took them to the famous lolly shop and bakery. Below you will find timestamps and further information on Christ Church Anglican Church, Beechworth Town Hall and the pieces I played on the organs.
